use.
Autoclaving, mechanical stresses and contamination by chemicals or other aggressive
solvents can impair the aerosol tightness of the rotors and rotor lids.

Check the integrity of the seals of the aerosol-tight rotor lids or caps before each use.
Only use aerosol-tight rotor lids or caps if the seals are undamaged and clean.
Apply a thin layer of pivot grease (order no. Int. 5810 350.050, North America 022634330)
to the threads of the rotor lid screw after each proper autoclaving process (121 C,
20 min.).
Replace aerosol-tight rotor lids and caps after 50 autoclaving cycles.
For QuickLock rotor lids, the seal must be replaced after 50 autoclaving cycles.
Never store aerosol-tight rotors or buckets closed.

5.2 Preparing for centrifugation

5.2.1 Switching on the centrifuge

1. Switch on the centrifuge using the mains power switch or the standby key.
2. Open the closed centrifuge lid by pressing the open key.
The parameter settings of the last run are displayed.

5.2.2 Inserting the rotor

Prerequisites
When attaching the rotor to or releasing it from the motor shaft, the temperature of the rotor and motor
shaft must be within the range of 10 30C.

NOTICE! If handled incorrectly, the rotor may fall.

Always pick up the rotor F-35-48-17 with both hands.

In order to hold the rotor safely, you may possibly have to remove 3 to 4 sleeves from the
opposite outer row.

Swing-bucket rotors: Remove the buckets before inserting and/or removing the rotor. Use
both hands to pick up the rotor cross.

1. Fit the rotor vertically on the motor shaft.

2. Insert the supplied rotor key into the rotor nut.
Rotor cross A-4-81/S-4-104: Use the special rotor key.
3. Turn the rotor key clockwise until the rotor nut is firmly tightened.

5.2.3 Automatic rotor detection

The centrifuge has automatic rotor detection. It detects a newly inserted rotor and displays its maximum
permitted speed for approx. 2 s. g-force (rcf) and speed (rpm) are automatically limited to the maximum
permitted value for the rotor.

In order to trigger the rotor detection,

Press and hold the start/stop key with the centrifuge lid open and turn the rotor counterclockwise by
hand.
The display shows the maximum permitted speed for the rotor. g-force (rcf) and speed (rpm) are
automatically limited to the maximum permitted value for the rotor.
Check the At set rpm setting.
Rotor detection can also be triggered by short spin centrifugation:

Press the short key until the maximum permitted speed for the rotor appears in the display.

If a centrifugation is started right after a rotor change, the centrifuge has not conducted an
automatic rotor detection. The speed set for the previous rotor may exceed the maximum
permitted speed for the new rotor. In this case, the centrifuge stops after the automatic rotor
detection and displays SPEED. The new maximum permitted speed appears in the display.
Only select programs only after the automatic rotor detection.
You can then restart the centrifuging with these settings or adjust the speed as necessary.

After each rotor change, check whether the new rotor is detected by the device.
Check the set g-force (rcf) or speed (rpm) and adjust it if necessary.

5.2.4 Loading the rotor

CAUTION! Risk of injury due to asymmetric loading of the rotor.

Load rotors symmetrically with identical tubes or plates and buckets.

Always load all positions of a swing-bucket rotor with buckets.
Only load adapters with suitable tubes or plates.
Always use tubes or plates of the same type (weight, material/density and volume).
Check that loading is symmetrical by balancing the adapters and tubes or plates used with
scales.

CAUTION! Risk from damaged or overloaded tubes.

When loading the rotor, observe the safety precautions on hazards resulting from
overloaded or damaged tubes (see Warnings for intended use on p. 12).

The device automatically detects imbalances during operation and stops the run immediately
with an error message and a signal tone.

Check the load, balance the tubes and restart the run.

5.2.4.1 Fixed-angle rotors

Rotor lid
Fixed-angle rotors may only be operated with the appropriate rotor lid in each case. This is
clearly shown by the identical rotor name labeling on the rotor and on the rotor lid.
To carry out an aerosol-tight centrifugation, an aerosol-tight rotor must be used in
combination with the corresponding rotor lid or cap.

To load the rotor, proceed as follows:

1. Check the maximum load (adapter, tube and contents) per rotor bore.
The information about this can be found on the rotor and in this operating manual (see Rotors on p. 61).
2. Load rotors and adapters only with the tubes intended for them.
3. Insert tubes opposite each other in pairs into the rotor bores. For symmetric loading, tubes that face
each other must be the same type and have the same filling quantity.
 Operation
30 Centrifuge 5804/5804 R/5810/5810 R
English (EN)

To keep the weight differences between the filled tubes low, we recommend taring with a balance. This
will reduce wear on the drive and reduce operating noise.
4. Attach and tighten the rotor lid.

5.2.4.2 Swing-bucket rotors

Prerequisites
A rotor, bucket and adapter combination approved by Eppendorf.
The buckets are sorted according to the weight class. Opposite-facing buckets must have the same
weight class, which is imprinted in the groove: e.g., 68 (the last 2 positions in grams). Please specify the
corresponding weight class for reorders - including plate buckets.
Matching and tested tubes and plates.
Do not remove the middle guiding elements of the modular adapters of the rectangular buckets in order,
e.g., to increase capacity through multi-level centrifugation.

NOTICE! Damage to adapters due to incorrect stacking.

Stack the adapters in rectangular buckets in a closed row only from the bottom of the
bucket. Do not leave any gaps between the modules.

NOTICE! Filling the plates too high can cause overflowing.

During the run the meniscuses in the tubes along the edges of the plates are at an angle. This
is due to the centrifugal forces and cannot be avoided.

Fill the plate wells to a maximum of 2/3 of the maximum filling volume.

To load the rotor, proceed as follows:

1. Check the bucket grooves for cleanliness and lightly grease them with pivot grease (order no. int.:
5810 350.050/North America: 022634330).
Contaminated grooves and pegs impede the even swinging of the buckets.
2. Hang the buckets into the rotor.
All rotor positions must be equipped with buckets.
3. Check to see if all buckets are completely hung and can freely swing out.
 Operation
Centrifuge 5804/5804 R/5810/5810 R 31
English (EN)

Ensure that everything can swing freely

4. To check whether bottles, plates or tubes can swing freely, swing buckets manually.
Check swinging direction
5. To check whether the buckets including their load swing with the floor in the direction of the rotor
chamber wall, start turning the rotor cross anti-clockwise.
6. Check the maximum load per carrier (adapter, tube or plate and contents) and the loading height.
The information about this can be found on the rotor and in this operating manual (see Rotors on p. 61).
7. Load the buckets symmetrically.
Abb. 5-3: Incomplete, but symmetric loading of the buckets. The pegs of each bucket must be evenly loaded.

Fig. 5-3: Incomplete, but symmetric loading of the buckets. The pegs of each bucket must be evenly
loaded.

Abb. 5-4: Symmetrical loading of the plates.

Fig. 5-4: Symmetrical loading of the plates.

The plate charging shown on the right side is incorrect because the bucket cannot correctly swing out.
The same principle also applies to the loading of rotor A-4-81-MTP/Flex with 4 plates.
The plates have a small amount of play in the buckets.
8. Check the loading of the bucket.

5.2.4.3 Rotor S-4750: Equipping the adapter with vessels > 119 mm

NOTICE! Broken glass due to incorrect loading.

If the tubes in a bucket are too long, the swinging tubes will touch the rotor cross and may get
damaged or destroyed.

Load buckets such that they can swing out freely.

If necessary, load only the inner bores of the adapter.
When using tubes with a length of > 100 mm: always perform a manual swing-out test.

If the adapter 16 75 mm 100 mm (order number 5825 736.001) is equipped with vessels > 119 mm in
length, e.g., BD 8 mL Vacutainer, there is a risk of glass breakage.

Abb. 5-5: Loading the adapter 16 75 - 100 mm with vessels >119 mm in length.

Fig. 5-5: Loading the adapter 16 75 - 100 mm with vessels >119 mm in length.

Only load the inner bores.

5.2.4.4 Mixed loading with buckets and plate carriers

Mixed loading of swing-bucket rotors with buckets and plate carriers is possible if these are intended for
the rotor. Buckets or plate carriers which are opposite each other must be buckets/plate carriers of the
same type.

2 rectangular buckets
A-4-44 2 rectangular buckets
2 buckets for conical tubes

NOTICE! Rotor damage due to mixed loading.

If you load the rotors A-4-62 and A-4-62-MTP with a mixed equipment, the rotors will be
damaged during centrifugation.

Load all positions of the rotors A-4-62 and A-4-62-MTP with the same buckets.
Always load all 4 positions of the swing-bucket rotors.

Check the loading of the bucket.

5.2.5 Closing the centrifuge lid

WARNING! Risk of injury when opening or closing the centrifuge lid.

There is a risk of crushing your fingers when opening or closing the centrifuge lid.

When opening or closing the centrifuge lid, do not reach between the lid and device or into
the latching mechanism of the lid.
Always open the centrifuge lid completely to prevent it from falling.

1. Check the correct attachment of the rotor and rotor lid.

2. Push down the centrifuge lid until the lid latch engages and the lid is automatically closed.
The centrifuge will close automatically.
The open key lights up blue. The symbol appears in the display.

If the rotor is stopped: Target temperature

During centrifugation: Actual temperature

5.3.3 Temperature monitoring

After the target temperature has been reached, the centrifuge reacts to temperature deviations during
centrifugation as follows:

Deviation from set value Action

3 C Temperatures on the display are flashing.
5 C Periodic warning tone. Centrifugation is stopped automatically.

5.3.4 FastTemp

This function can be used to start a temperature control run directly without samples with a rotor and
temperature-specific speed in order to quickly adjust the rotor chamber, including the rotor, buckets and
adapters, to the previously set nominal temperature.

Prerequisites
The centrifuge is switched on.
The rotor and rotor lid are properly attached.
The centrifuge lid is closed.
Temperature and g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm) for the centrifugation are set (see Centrifuging on p. 36).
1. Press the fast temp key.
The display shows from left to right: actual temperature value, FT, g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm) and --
(time).
The temperature control run automatically ends when the set temperature is reached. A periodic signal
tone sounds.
2. Press the start/stop key to terminate the temperature control run early.
After the set temperature has been reached and the temperature control run is complete, the centrifuge
keeps the rotor chamber with the centrifuge lid closed at the set target temperature if the temperature is
below the ambient temperature. However, independent of the target temperature, 4 C must be met via
this continuous cooling in order to prevent the rotor chamber from freezing.

The centrifuge stops the cycle automatically if the rotor or the buckets have reached the set
temperature. Therefore, there may be a delay of approx. 30 min between the display of the set
temperature and the automatic end of the temperature control run.
 Operation
Centrifuge 5804/5804 R/5810/5810 R 35
English (EN)

When using aerosol-tight buckets, always carry out a FastTemp run at low temperatures
without a cap. There is a danger otherwise of the caps becoming fixed by suction due to a
vacuum. Do not pull on the sealing clamps or hooks to loosen the cap. Adjust the temperature
of the buckets to room temperature so that the caps can be removed easily.

5.3.5 Continuous cooling

If the rotor stops, the rotor chamber will be maintained at the target temperature if the following
requirements have been met:

The centrifuge is switched on.

The centrifuge lid is closed.
The target temperature is lower than the ambient temperature.
The centrifuge is not in standby mode.

During continuous cooling the following applies:

The set and actual temperature are displayed alternately.

Irrespective of the set temperature, the temperature does not go below 4 C to prevent the rotor
chamber from freezing and from increased condensation in the device.
The temperature adjustment is slower because the rotor does not rotate during this process.

To end continuous cooling, open the centrifuge lid or press the standby key.

If the centrifuge is not used for more than 8 hours, the continuous cooling is switched off automatically
(ECO shut-off). The device then switches to standby mode. This protects against ice formation in the rotor
chamber and increased condensation in the device. With FastTemp you can quickly reach the desired
temperature again (see p. 34).

You can also change from automatically switching off continuous cooling after 8 hours (ECO shut-off) to
unlimited continuous cooling.

NOTICE! Ice formation and compressor overheating during continuous cooling.

Switch the centrifuge off regularly to eliminate any ice formation by thawing.
Regularly remove condensation from the rotor chamber using a soft, absorbent cloth.
Empty and clean the condensation water tray regularly.

1. When the centrifuge lid is opened, press the temp and prog keys simultaneously.
Standby 8h appears in the display.
2. Press the fast temp key immediately.
Endless operation for continuous cooling is activated. Standby endless appears in the display.

Aerosol tightness
Check that the seals are intact before use.
Only QuickLock rotor lid: Replace the sealing ring in the lid groove when it becomes worn.
Replace the rotor lids with screw cap when the sealing rings on the lid screw and in the lid
groove become worn.
The sealing rings require regular care to protect the rotors.
Aerosol-tight rotors should never be stored with lids screwed on!
In order to prevent damage, lightly lubricate the lid thread of the aerosol-tight rotors with
pivot grease (order no. Int.: 5810 350.050/North America: 022634330).

Swing-bucket rotor
Before cleaning the rotor, remove old pivot grease from grooves and pivots.
Make sure that the grooves and pivots are clean. Dirty grooves and pivots prevent carriers
from swinging out evenly.
After cleaning, lubricate the pivots of the rotor and the grooves of the buckets with pivot
grease (order no. Int.: 5810 350.050/North America: 022634330) so that the carriers can
move freely in a swinging manner.

7.3.1 Cleaning and disinfecting the device

1. Open the lid. Switch off the device with the mains/power switch. Disconnect the power plug from the
power supply.
2. Loosen the rotor nut by turning the rotor key counterclockwise.
3. Remove the rotor.
4. Clean and disinfect all accessible surfaces of the device, including the power cable, using a damp cloth
and the recommended cleaning agents.
5. Thoroughly clean the rubber seal of the rotor chamber with water.
6. Rub the dry rubber seal with glycerine or talcum powder to prevent it from becoming brittle. Other
components of the device, such as the lid latch, lid springs, motor shaft and rotor cone, must not be
lubricated.
7. Clean the motor shaft with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth. Do not lubricate the motor shaft.
8. Check the motor shaft for damage.
9. Inspect the device for corrosion and damage.

7.3.2 Cleaning and disinfecting the rotor

After every 200 runs, the centrifuge displays clean rotor three times to remind you about the
regular rotor cleaning.

1. Inspect the rotor and accessories for damage and corrosion. Do not use any damaged rotors or
accessories.
2. Clean and disinfect the rotors and accessories with the recommended cleaning agents.
3. Use a bottle brush to clean and disinfect the rotor bores.
4. Rinse the rotors and accessories thoroughly with distilled water. Rinse the rotor bores of fixed-angle
rotors particularly thoroughly.

Do not immerse the rotor in liquid as liquid can get trapped inside the cavities.

5. Place rotors and accessories on a cloth to dry. Place fixed-angle rotors with the rotor bores facing
downwards to allow the bores to also dry.
6. Clean the rotor cone with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth. Do not lubricate the rotor cone.
7. Inspect the rotor cone for damage.
8. Place the dry rotor onto the motor shaft.
9. Tighten the rotor nut firmly by turning it clockwise with the rotor key.
10. Load the fixed-angle rotor with the cleaned adapters or the swing-bucket rotor with the cleaned buckets
and adapters, if necessary.
11. Leave the rotor lid open when the rotor is not being used.

7.4 Additional care instructions for refrigerated centrifuges

Empty and clean the condensation water tray regularly and especially after liquid spillage in the rotor
chamber. Pull out the condensation water tray at the front right under the device.
Clean the condensation water drain on a regular basis, too, e.g., using a bottle brush.
Regularly free the rotor chamber from ice formations by thawing, by either leaving the centrifuge lid
open or by performing a short temperature control run at approx. 30 C.
To take pressure off the gas spring(s), leave the centrifuge lid open if the centrifuge is not used for a
longer period.
Residual moisture can escape.
Wipe up the condensation water in the rotor chamber. Use a soft, absorbent cloth for this.
No later than every 6 months, remove any dust deposits from the ventilation slits of the centrifuge using
a brush or swab. First switch off the device and remove the power plug.

7.5 Breakage of glass

When using glass tubes there is a risk of glass breakage in the rotor chamber. The resulting glass splinters
are swirled around in the rotor chamber during centrifugation and have a sandblasting effect on the rotor
and accessories. Very small glass particles become lodged in the rubber parts (e.g., the motor sleeve, the
rotor chamber seal, and the rubber mats of adapters).

NOTICE! Glass breakage in the rotor chamber

Glass tubes in the rotor chamber may break if the g-force is too high. Broken glass can
damage the rotor, accessories and samples.

Please note the manufacturer's information on the recommended centrifugation

parameters (load and speed).

Effects of glass breakage in the rotor chamber:

Fine black metal abrasion in the rotor chamber (in metal rotor chambers).
The surfaces of the rotor chamber and accessories are scratched.
The chemical resistance of the rotor chamber is reduced.
Contamination of samples.
Wear on rubber parts.
How to proceed in case of glass breakage
1. Remove all splinters and glass powder from the rotor chamber and accessories.
2. Thoroughly clean the rotor and rotor chamber. Thoroughly clean the bores of the fixed-angle rotors, in
particular.
3. If required, replace the rubber mats and adapters to prevent any further damage.
4. Regularly check the rotor bores for deposits and damage.

7.6 Decontamination before shipment

If you are shipping the device to the authorized Technical Service for repairs or to your authorized dealer
for disposal please note the following:

WARNING! Risk to health from contaminated device

1. Follow the instructions in the decontamination certificate. You can find it as a PDF file on
our website (www.eppendorf.com/decontamination).
2. Decontaminate all the parts you would like to dispatch.
3. Include the fully completed decontamination certificate in the packing.

If you cannot remedy an error with the recommended measures, please contact your local Eppendorf
partner. The contact addresses can be found on the Internet at www.eppendorf.com.

8.1 Resetting the excess current switch

The 230 V and 120 V devices have built-in thermal excess-current switches which function as (all-pole)
fuses. When the overload protection is actuated, these switch the power switch to OFF, but do not switch it
on again automatically.

To switch on the excess current switch again, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the centrifuge using the power switch.

2. Wait for at least 20 seconds and switch on the centrifuge again.
The excess current switch will be automatically reactivated and the centrifuge is ready for operation.

NOTICE! Buckets swinging out in the wrong direction.

If the wrong adapters are used for 500 mL corning vessels, it might happen that the buckets of
the swing-bucket rotor swing out in the wrong direction. This can lead to sample loss or
damage of the centrifuge.

Therefore, only use the Eppendorf adapters for 500 mL corning vessels intended for this
purpose.

Do not use an aerosol-tight bucket cap with Corning 50 mL conical tubes.
